An Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD) enables the evaluation of mature advanced technology for usage by the United States Military. ACTDs allow technology evaluation earlier and cheaper than would be possible through the formal acquisition of new production capabilities. ACTDs must be sponsored by an operational user with approval and oversight from the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Advanced Systems and Concepts (DUSD(AS&C)).
ACTD programs
The following programs were completed under the ACTD framework
